What did BongHwan mean when he called HwaJIn a fake Soyong? Do you have any theories? I promise I won’t kick anybody out for theories. I’m known for my wild theories, too. Here are the scenes I consider relevant to understanding the characters. From Ep 1 Jo HwaJin was writing when her maid accidentally splashed […]

BTW, I read from the Viki comments that the drama deviated from the webtoon in that Episode 6 scene when Suho took JK’s wallet from the bullies. It was supposedly SJ who found the wallet. lol. PPT? Doesn’t PPT mean Power Point presentation? credit: […]

Bitch Talk: Drama Recommendations
People have asked for my drama recommendations. My recommendation however is to follow a writer and see his/her development over time. That’s what I did. I binge-watched not the actors but the screenwriters because I wanted to understand their vision of the world, their moral philosophy, and their creative process. Here’s a “starter pack.” I’ll […]
True Beauty: Meta-References to Other Dramas
@BethB wrote: Finally, it’s fun to see TB making meta-references to other k-dramas. It would be fun if @packmule3 could start a separate post about this and we could add our comments. As others have pointed out, they have parodied scenes from TKEM, CLOY (while one of the characters from CLOY was sitting on the […]

Mr Queen: Ep 6 On Being “ThisClose”
In math, these are just inequality symbols. This means greater than: > This means less than: < However, when you put them together, with a period in between, like this: >.< it becomes an emoticon (emotion + icon) for annoyed or irritated. And when you put them together, with an empty space in between, like […]

Start-Up: Ep 15 Elevator Speech (again)
The title of Episode 14 was “Elevator Speech” which was defined as “a brief, persuasive speech during an elevator ride.” To me, Dosan’s speech to Dalmi inside the elevator in Ep 15 was a continuation of Ep 14’s theme. He gave Dalmi his own elevator speech. And he was prompted by the sight of the […]

Here’s to another year to celebrate, whine, moan, kvetch, analyze and over-analyze, shred, deconstruct, roast, toast, praise, savor, and reminisce […]
Bitch Talk: On “Password-Protected” Posts
Please don’t worry if I start using the “password protection” more often on the blog. 1. If I put “Work in Progress” on the title of the post, it means just that: it’s an incomplete article. I’m still finishing it up. It could be that: I’m missing screenshots; I haven’t proofread the paragraph I dictated on […]
